SOMERS, N.Y. (AP) - State Police in Westchester County helped rescue a father and daughter who had fallen through the ice while fishing in Somers.
It happened just before 7:30 Thursday morning at the Muscoot Reservoir.
Two troopers, along with a Somers police officer and three Good Samaritans, ventured out onto the ice and lay prone while they threw a rope to the closest person, the father, who was pulled out. They then tossed the rope to the daughter, who struggled before she was safety pulled out.
State Police say the 62-year-old father, Yan Frant, and his 36-year-old daughter, Inesa Frant, had been in the icy water for about 30 minutes.
Both were taken to Northern Westchester Hospital where they were treated and released.
